"Hi, Duke."
An unfamiliar greeting voice sounded next to him, and Duke, who had been looking into the distance, turned his head and nodded, "Hi ......"
This is a somewhat familiar little girl, about ten years old, wearing a blue dress with polka dots, beautiful blonde hair neatly tied back of her head, eyes are rare blue and green, eyelashes flickering, looking smart and cute.
In an instant, Duke remembered that this girl had not only starred in "Brave Island", but also seemed to be her mother's goddaughter.
"It's been a long time, Duke." The little girl leaned closer.
"yes."
Duke realized that he had forgotten to ask his mother what her goddaughter's name was.
"What do you call it?" He asked directly.
"You don't know my name?" The little girl looked straight at him, and the grievance was slowly written in her eyes, "I've acted in your movie, Lady Leah is still my godmother......"
She pursed her lips and seemed angry.
"So, beautiful young lady."
In any case, this is the mother's goddaughter, and Duke can't bother with a little girl, "Can you tell me your name now?" β
"But the mother said," said the little girl, ...... "and shook her body back and forth, "and she should not tell her name to a stranger unless she met the prince." β
Duke almost burst out laughing, "Why can the prince?" β
"Because the story always says......" the little girl's eyes rolled, "and you can kiss the prince when you meet him." β
"What if that prince is in disguise?"
Children's fairy tales are sometimes very funny, and Duke deliberately asks the question, "Aren't you going to kiss the wrong person?" β
The little girl put away her playful expression and said very strictly, "Before you meet the prince, you always have to kiss a lot of frogs. β
Hearing this pretending to be serious, Duke couldn't hold back any longer, and finally laughed, in this chaotic banquet hall, the little girl opposite was definitely the most interesting person he had ever met.
"And there may be some disgusting toads mixed in with the frogs!" She pointed in the direction of the ballroom again, "like the people inside." β
"You don't like them?" Duke asked with a smile.
"They're too boring," said the little girl, earnestly, "and like to be serious, but unfortunately I can't get rid of them, just like he ......"
She pointed to the door of the hotel under the terrace, where a bald man stood, "I don't like his bald head, but I don't have the right to drive him away." β
"Can you tell me your name now?" Duke found himself being carried around by the little girl's words.
"That's right......" The little girl leaned on the guardrail, tilted her head to look at Duke, and suddenly said, "Truth or Dare!" β
"What?" Duke was stunned.
"Didn't you want to ask my name?" The little girl's eyes flashed, as if they were straight to the heart, "You should still want to ask why I'm here, right?" My godmother told me that you like fair trade the most, don't you think truth or dare is a good fit? β
This guy, Duke couldn't help but shake his head, and actually pulled his mother out.
"Don't you think that's naΓ―ve?" He couldn't help but say.
"I'm only nine years old......," the little girl raised her voice, "I'm not an adult." β
Looking at the little girl whose eyes were always rolling around, Duke gradually came back to his senses from the joke, and after thinking about it, he said, "Yes, but the game is your suggestion, and the question must be asked by me first!" β
"Stingy......" The girl snorted, and finally nodded.
"Truth or dare?" Duke asked.
"Honestly!"
"Why are you here?" Duke didn't believe it was a coincidence.
"Sister Sophia brought me here." The little girl did not hesitate.
"Now it's my turn!"
Hearing the faintly excited voice, Duke understood that this was definitely a little girl, and it seemed that her mother's goddaughter was a little too smart.
"Truth or dare?" She asked.
"Big Adventure!" Duke didn't even think about it.
"No, you have to choose the truth!"
The little girl pursed her lips and glared at Duke, if you don't change your mind, I'll bite your posture, "You have to choose the truth!" β
"Big Adventure!" Duke insisted.
"Not changing?"
As she spoke, the girl's eyes slanted downward, and the bald head at the door of the hotel was unusually conspicuous.
"No change!"
Suddenly, Duke felt a chill run down his back, as if he should have changed his mind......
But the girl did not give him a chance to turn around, turned slightly sideways, and pointed down with her right hand, where was the position of the bald head mentioned earlier.
"There's a bald head down there, spitting on his head."
She looked at Duke very seriously, as if she didn't mean to be joking.
"No......" Duke shook his head directly, "I'll choose the truth." β
"No, it's too late!" The girl didn't care about Duke's objections, and pointed to the bottom and said, "Hurry up, you have to do it!" β
Duke was unmoved, considering whether it was time to cheat.
"Godmother said that you must be honest in life!" The girl crossed her waist and stared up at Duke, "Do what you say!" β
"You won't say it?" Duke looked at her.
"It's a secret between us!"
The little girl swore solemnly, "I promise that no third person will know." β
Smiled indifferently, Duke coughed in a low voice, mistakenly taking this as a prank of the little girl, lying on the guardrail, sticking out his head, brewing for a full ten seconds, in the girl's playful eyes, coughing up a mouthful of phlegm, and spitting directly down......
"Hello ......" a man's voice sounded below.
"Haha......"
The little goblin girl almost bent over with laughter.
Hiding in the guardrail, Duke looked ahead until the girl was back on her feet, and then said, "Truth or dare?" β
"Honestly!" The girl stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"Sue me by your name!" Duke asked.
"Johansson," the little girl said without any more tricks, "Scarlett Johansson, you can call me Scarlett like your godmother." β
Eyebrows raised slightly, Duke looked at the girl again, except for the mischievous and clever one who went a little too far, the girl didn't seem to be anything special.
"Now it's my turn!"
"Game time is over!" Duke deliberately looked at his watch, turned and walked towards the banquet hall, "Okay, that's all for today, you should go back too." β
"Hey, Duke." Scarlett didn't recognize her life at all, and when she caught up, she grabbed Duke's sleeve, "You're an adult, how can you play tricks on a child?" β
"Miss Johnson......"
"Scarlett!" The girl reminded.
"Scarlett......" Duke let her tug at her sleeves and continued to walk forward, "Say, why are you in Los Angeles?" Why did you come to me? β
The little girl is indeed very naughty and cute, coupled with the extremely familiar name and the relationship between her mother's goddaughter, it is very easy to make people feel good, but Duke is not stupid, she can follow Sophia to this kind of occasion, there must be other purposes.
"I'm taking acting classes in Los Angeles." Scarlett Johansson hesitated for a moment, and when Duke looked over, she pursed her lips lightly and said, "Mom read your new movie script and thinks the role of the president's daughter in it is very suitable for me." β
She suddenly stopped and stood there looking at Duke like a child who had made a mistake waiting for the teacher's ruling.
"I'll have people send you an audition invitation."
Fun is fun, work is work, just like other actors, Duke will not give any promises lightly, if Scarlett Johansson auditions are not satisfactory, he will never give her a child role with so many scenes, if the audition results are above the level, even for the sake of his mother, he will mention that she will play it.
After seeing the girl again, Duke naturally resounded the words that his mother had said at the premiere of "Brave Island" to take proper care of her.
"Wait for the pie to end." Scarlett Johansson immediately jumped over, "Shall I invite you to go for ice cream?" β
"You have money?" Duke walked back towards the ballroom.
"Of course!" Scarlett tugged at Duke's sleeve again, and said confidently, "When I was in New York, I played many roles in stage plays, and I also acted in your last movie, and I earned a lot of money!" β
As he spoke, Duke lifted the curtain and entered the banquet hall, where Sofia Coppola and another woman immediately approached.
"This is my mother'......," Scarlett introduced familiarly, adding to Sophia Coppola, "this is Ms. Melanie Sloan." β
"Hello, Ms. Sloane." Duke shook her hand and exchanged a few casual pleasantries.
Walking up to Sophia, seeing that the mother and daughter behind her seemed to be whispering something, Duke also lowered his voice and asked, "How did that little guy find you?" β
"The last premiere was on Alcatraz." Sophia looked over there, "Scarlett kept my number, she's Aunt Leah's goddaughter......"
Speaking of which, Duke has roughly understood that this is indeed a very smart girl, it seems that she is not yet ten years old, right?
"Remember to have someone send her an audition invitation." Duke waved his hand at Sophia and walked towards Townsend Rothman, who came over, and began a new round of socializing.
On the other side, the blonde girl secretly made a triumphant gesture to her mother, and then stuck out her tongue mischievously at Duke's back.
As the protagonist of Pie Duì, Duke leaves the banquet hall late, but walks into the hotel lobby to find Scarlett Johansson and her mother still there, seemingly waiting for him.
"I told you to have ice cream." The little girl wrinkled her nose and said to him, "Words must be counted, so I will not be liared." β
"I'd better save the ice cream until after you audition."
If she had eaten ice cream and she hadn't auditioned, Duke felt that with the little guy's current personality, she might run to her godmother, her own mother, to complain......
The preparation of the film has just begun, and it will take time to determine the actors or something.
